World Rugby Museum
I went on a trip to the World Rugby Museum and archives in Twickenham.
The stadium itself was really impressive, I've never been there before.
A close up of The Line Out sculpture by Gerald Laing, 2010 (above) and
The Four Twickenham Players, from 1995 (below). It seems interesting that like
William Barnes Wollen, Laing also has a series of war paintings.
One of the most interesting things in the archives was the range, and use of illustration over the last 100 years. A bigger collection of this material has been uploaded onto Pinterest here.

A portrait painter from the turn of the 19th Century who painted a
number of rugby (football) scenes. Interestingly alongside commissioned
war canvases.

Rugby Looks Like: Guinness
I've been considering the link between the aesthetic of rugby, and that of Guinness.

Rugby League Titles
This post was written in May 2013
I spent two weeks last month working on new titles for the rugby league, initially for the Challenge Cup that's on air at the moment.
The idea came from a Paul Bush film using archive footage to tell the story of rugby on the BBC. I had been thinking a lot about the graphical language of rugby after working on the autumn internationals last year. And about how it may be possible to push the ideas forward visually in a way that feels comfortable for the audience (who after some research proved to be much older than expected). The idea of using cigarette cards is something I've been thinking about since visiting the Wolves museum earlier in the year.
The project was made with Mark Woodward, from such hits as Le Crunch and the Match of the Day 2 boxing posters. Below are some of the visuals, from the pitch and development work as well as the final piece. Once I get a copy of the final titles I'll upload the movie onto Vimeo.
